Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet split
Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have split. The 49-year-old actress and the 52-year-old film director have announced that they are separating with 'common accord' and 'mutual goodwill' after 18 years together. They announced the split in a statement to the Agence France-Presse news agency, saying they were making the announcement in order 'to avoid all speculation, rumours and risky interpretations'. They did not reveal a reason for the split. The pair starred opposite each other in 2003's 'Love Me If You Dare' and they began dating in 2007. In 2011 they welcomed their first child, a son named Marcel and in 2017, they had a baby girl. While pregnant with her daughter, Marion was forced to deny speculation of a romance with her 'Allied' co-star Brad Pitt, amid his split from Angelina Jolie. Marion wrote on Instagram at the time: 'This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into. I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiralling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up.' 'Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need. 'I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment.' Canet also called out 'the haters' who spread the 'stupid and unfounded accusations'.

Whitney Houston Scores Multiple New Platinum Hits
Whitney Houston earns double-digit new RIAA certifications, including platinum plaques for 'Count On ... More Me' and 'Run to You,' decades after their original releases. FRANCE - MAY 18: Whitney Houston Performs In Paris Bercy On May 18th, 1988 In Paris,France (Photo by Frederic REGLAIN/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) More than a decade after her passing, Whitney Houston continues to collect new awards and certifications for the music she left behind. People in the United States have not stopped listening to the legendary vocalist, and as more time passes, she racks up more honors. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) recently handed down double-digit new certifications to Houston's catalog, as both singles and one of the bestselling albums of all time added to their totals. Among that group, two of the late superstar's tracks became platinum wins for the first time, decades after their release. 'Count on Me' and 'Run to You' Go Platinum Both 'Count On Me,' a collaboration with CeCe Winans, and 'Run to You' are newly platinum songs by Houston. That means they have officially moved one million equivalent units throughout the years, between both sales and streaming activity. 'Run to You' was named a gold win after it hit half a million units in March 2019. 'Count On Me' had to wait much longer to double its sum and move from gold to platinum status. The duet with Winans was certified gold in 1996, so it took almost 30 years for it to shift another half-million copies. The Bodyguard and Waiting to Exhale's Smashes 'Run to You' served as the fourth official single from The Bodyguard soundtrack. It followed top 10 smashes 'I Will Always Love You,' 'I'm Every Woman,' and 'I Have Nothing,' becoming the last charting tune from that collection. Just a few years later, Houston was promoting the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, which produced several other huge wins, including 'Count On Me.' Both were chart wins, but it's taken decades for them to become platinum successes. Whitney Houston's Other New RIAA Certifications Eight other songs by Houston earned new certifications from the RIAA at the same time as 'Run to You' and 'Count On Me.' 'I Will Always Love You' advanced to 11-times platinum after becoming a diamond smash in 2022. Houston is likely headed for another diamond win, as 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)' is now up to 8-times platinum, meaning it has moved eight million equivalent units. Other beloved songs from the superstar increased their totals, including 'I Have Nothing' (4-times platinum), 'Higher Love' with Kygo and 'How Will I Know' (both 3-times platinum), and 'Saving All My Love for You,' 'My Love Is Your Love,' and 'Heartbreak Hotel,' which all surged from platinum to double platinum.

Rei Kawakubo redefines men's suits with radical designs at Paris Fashion Week
PARIS (AP) — Rei Kawakubo, the ever-restless force behind Comme des Garçons, delivered a characteristically unpredictable twist on men's tailoring, dismantling the traditional suit and remaking it in her own radical image. Titled 'Not Suits, But Suits,' the Paris Fashion Week show had models striding through a packed, overheated concrete venue Friday evening in looks that both nodded to and defied the idea of formalwear. Classic suit elements, jackets, lapels, pressed trousers, were reimagined with sharp, architectural interventions: bulging hips, layered or panniered silhouettes, and unexpected splashes of color. Some jackets appeared as if spliced apart and reassembled, while skinny pants revealed hidden panels and bursts of pattern through carefully placed zippers. Layering abounded, with cropped jackets stacked over pleated shirting, kilts and shorts. Knitwear was shredded and reconstructed, echoing a sense of disorder within the tailored frame. Accessories pushed the eccentricity further — models wore oversized, multi-brimmed caps crafted from suiting fabrics, paired with long braided wigs and formal shoes. The collection evoked the need for something transformative in unsettled times. Its atmosphere only heightened the collection's message: in Kawakubo's world, the suit is not a uniform of conformity but a canvas for disruption. As guests spilled out into the night, applause rang out for a designer who continues to turn fashion's certainties inside out.

At Bezos' Venetian Wedding: Buzz, Bling and Backlash
On Friday, Venice's canals filled with polished motorboats bearing Hollywood stars, millionaires and Khloé Kardashian in a cape of pink feathers as they headed to Jeff Bezos' wedding to Lauren Sánchez. On Saturday, it was the turn of dozens of public order police officers on foot, boats and water skis. A day after Ms. Sánchez took to Instagram on Friday night to introduce herself to the world as Lauren Sanchez-Bezos, wearing a lacy white mermaid dress, Venice braced for protesters who threatened to descend again on the city to voice their anger over the wedding — and armed conflict around the world. Despite his efforts to have a private if star-studded multimillion-dollar wedding in Venice, Mr. Bezos' wealth and powerful connections left the couple's thoroughly curated celebrations caught up in an intensely political and moral debate. From Venetian bars to British newspapers and even among Italian politicians in Rome, the wedding became a topic of conversation, focusing not on the bride's outfits, but on Mr. Bezos' businesses, money and friends. The result was an over-the-top party in one of the world's most stunning cities mixing Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Ivanka Trump and political overtones. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
